- Distance of a planet from the earth is 2.5 x 10' m. If mass of planet is same as that of the earth, calculate the force of gravitation between then (mass of earth = 5.98 × 1024 kg, G %3D = 6.67 × 10-11 Nm2 / kg²) %3DA planet’s orbital time period is 29.5 times higher than that of the earth’s orbital period. How far is that planet from the Sun, if the earth is 1.50×108 km away from the sun?The solar system has a planet with an orbital period T1b=1.51d and an orbital radius of R1b=1.6456x10^6km. Another planet in the system has an orbital radius of R1f=5.5352x10^6 km. Calculate its orbital period in days.
- The planet Saturn orbits the Sun at an average distance of 888 million miles. Use Kepler’s 3rd law to find the period of Saturn’s orbit, in Earth years.A satellite is held in orbit that is 310 km above the surface of the Earth by a gravitational force of magnitude 14,637 N. Given that the mass of the Earth is 6×1024 kg, its radius is 6,360 km, and the universal gravitational constant is 6.67×10 -11 N⋅m2/kg2, determine the mass of the satellite.The radius of the Earth's orbit is 1.50 x 1011 m and that of Neptune is 4.52 x 1012 m. The star that this planet orbits is identical to our Sun. What is the orbital period of this planet? 2.2 years eBook
- An object has recently been discovered orbiting the Sun. The following is known about this object. Images indicate it is about 800 km in diameter, appears to be covered in craters, and has a mostly spherical shape. The object was discovered at 42 AU from the Sun, which was found to be the perihelion of its orbit. The aphelion of its orbit was found to be 330 AU. a) From this information determine the semi-major axis and period of the orbit. b) Classify the object according to the definitions from the 2006 IAU meeting and describe the area of the Solar System from which it comes.A planet of mass 6×10 to the 24th power kg is in orbit around a star of mass 2×10 to the 30th kg. If the distance between the planet and the star is 5×10 to the 11th power m, what is the force exerted on this planet by the star?Let's assume that the planet was originally orbiting around something with the mass of our Sun (and thus the mass of the planet is negligible). Now we will examine the case where the planet orbits a star with 8 times the mass of our Sun, but we will say that the dates listed in the diagram above are still accurate for indicating the planet's position as it orbits the new star. What is ratio of the size of the semimajor axis of the planet in this case compared to the original (aka how many times larger {ratio greater than 1} or smaller {ratio less than 1} is the new semimajor axis than the old one)?
- Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.An unknown planet (mass is equal to 1.29 x 10^12 kg) is orbiting around the sun (mass of the sun is equal to 6.623703×10^35kg). Knowing that the gravitational force between the unknown planet and the sun is (5.61 x 10^20 )N, is the unknown planet nearer or farther to the sun compared to earth? (earth's distance to sun is 1 AU) Express your answer in terms of astronomical units or AU (1AU = 1.496 x 10^8 km). Assuming that the sun is fixated at a center point, calculate the area of the unknown planet's orbit (assume that the orbit is circle). Express your answer using proper scientific notation conventionIf you measure your weight at a height of 500km, what percentage of your regular weight would you have? The radius of Earth is 6380km.
